⁴ Thou makest thine angels spirits, and thy ministers a flaming fire.

¹⁴ Thou bringest forth grass for the cattle, and green herbs for the service of men. ¹⁵ Thou bringest food out of the earth: wine to make glad the heart of man, oil to make him a cheerful countenance and bread to strengthen man's heart.

²⁹ But when thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; when thou takest away their breath, they die, and are turned again to their dust.

¹²⁰ My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

² It is but lost labour that ye rise up early, and take no rest, but eat the bread of carefulness; for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

¹¹ The LORD hath made a faithful oath unto David, and he shall not shrink from it, "Of the fruit of the body shall I set upon thy seat.

¹ {To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} O LORD, thou searchest me out, and knowest me. ² Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising; thou understandest my thoughts afar off. ³ Thou art about my path and about my bed, and spiest out all my ways. ⁴ For lo, there is not a word in my tongue, but thou, O LORD, knowest it altogether. ⁵ Thou hast fashioned me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. ⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful and excellent for me; I cannot attain unto it. ⁷ Whither shall I go then from thy spirit? Or, whither shall I flee from thy presence? ⁸ If I climb up into heaven, thou art there; if I go down to hell, thou art there also. ⁹ If I take the wings of the morning, and remain in the uttermost part of the sea, ¹⁰ even there also shall thy hand lead me, and thy righthand shall hold me. ¹¹ If I say, "Peradventure the darkness shall cover me, then shall my night be turned to day." - ¹² Yea, the darkness is no darkness with thee, but the night is as clear as the day; the darkness and light are both alike.

¹⁸ She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her, and blessed are they that keep her fast.

³ The eyes of the LORD look on every place; both upon the good and bad.

³ Foolishness maketh a man to go out of his way, and then is his heart impatient against the LORD.

¹⁶ The man that wandereth out of the way of wisdom, shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

⁵ Spears and snares are in the way of the froward; but he that will keep his soul, let him flee from such.

³¹ And lo, it was all covered with nettles, and stood full of thistles, and the stone wall was broken down.

¹³ He that hideth his sins, shall not prosper; but who so knowledgeth them and forsaketh them, shall have mercy.

² All is but vanity - sayeth the Preacher - all is but plain vanity. ³ For what else hath a man, of all the labor that he taketh under the Sun?

³ For what else hath a man, of all the labor that he taketh under the Sun?

¹³ applied my mind to seek out and search for the knowledge of all things that are done under heaven. Such travail and labor hath God given to the children of men, to exercise themselves therein.

¹³ applied my mind to seek out and search for the knowledge of all things that are done under heaven. Such travail and labor hath God given to the children of men, to exercise themselves therein. ¹⁴ Thus I have considered all the things that come to pass under the Sun, and lo, they are all but vanity and vexation of mind.

¹¹ But when I considered all the works that my hands had wrought, and all the labours that I had taken therein: Lo, all was vanity and vexation of mind, and nothing of any value under the Sun.

¹⁷ Thus began I to be weary of my life, in so much that I could away with nothing that is done under the Sun, for all was but vanity and vexation of mind:

²² For what getteth a man of all the labor and travail of his mind, that he taketh under the Sun, ²³ but heaviness, sorrow and disquietness all the days of his life? Insomuch that his heart cannot rest in the night. Is not this also a vain thing?

²⁰ They go all unto one place, for as they be all of dust, so shall they all turn unto dust again.

¹⁰ If one of them fall, his companion helpeth him up again: But woe is him that is alone, for if he fall, he hath not another to help him up.

⁹ The whole land also with the fields and all that is therein, is in subjection and bondage unto the king.

¹⁵ Like as he came naked out of his mother's womb, so goeth he thither again, and carryeth nothing away with him of all his labour.

¹⁷ All the days of his life also must he eat in the dark, with great carefulness, sickness and sorrow.

⁷ Or dust be turned again unto earth from whence it came, and or the spirit return unto God, which gave it.

⁶ I will lay it waste, that it shall neither be twisted nor cut, but bear thorns and briers. I will also forbid the clouds, that they shall not rain upon it.

¹⁴ Neverthelater, yet the Lord, he will give you a sign. Behold: a virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

²³ At the same time all vineyards - though there be a thousand vines in one, and were sold for a thousand silverlings - shall be turned to briers and thorns.

⁸ they shall stand in fear, carefulness and sorrow shall come upon them, and they shall have pain, as a woman that travaileth with child. One shall ever be abashed of another, and their faces shall burn like the flame.

¹⁴ I will climb up above the clouds; and will be like the highest of all."

¹² I am come of the old regal Progeny"? Where are they? Where are now thy wise men? Let them tell thee, if they can, what the LORD of Hosts hath taken in hand against Egypt. ¹³ The princes of Zoan are become fools, and the princes of Noph are deceived: yea, they deceive Egypt with their nobility of their stock.

³ With this, the reins of my back were full of pain: Pangs came upon me, as upon a woman in her travail. It made me stoop when I heard it, and it vexed me when I saw it.

⁵ For the earth is corrupt of her indwellers. For why? They have offended the law, changed the ordinances, and broken the everlasting covenant. ⁶ Therefore hath the curse consumed the earth; and they that dwell therein are fallen into trespass. Wherefore the inhabiters of the earth are perished with drought, and those that remain shall be very few.

¹⁷ Like as a woman with child, when her travail cometh upon her, is sorry and crieth in her pains: Even so are we, O LORD, in thy sight. ¹⁸ We have been with child, and suffered pain as though we had brought forth wind. For there is no salvation in the earth, neither do the inhabiters of the world submit them selves.

¹ In that day, the LORD with his heavy, great, and long sword shall visit Leviathan that fugitive serpent: even Leviathan that crooked serpent, and shall slay the dragon in the sea.

²⁰ For the bed shall be so narrow that a man cannot lie upon it: And the covering too small, that a man may not wind himself therein.

⁴ And thou shalt be brought low, and speak out of the earth, and thy words shall go humbly out of the ground. Thy voice shall come out of the earth, like the voice of a witch, and thy talking shall groan out of the mire.

¹³ My people's field shall bring thorns and thistles, for in every house is voluptuousness; and in the cities, willfulness.

¹⁴ The sinners at Zion are afraid, and a sudden fearfulness is come upon the hypocrites. "What is he among us," say they, "that will dwell by that consuming fire? Which of us may abide that everlasting heat?"

³ Thy shame shall be discovered, and thy privities shall be seen. For I will avenge me of thee, and will show no mercy to thee as I do to other men,

¹² Now go to thy conjurers, and to the multitude of thy witches, whom thou hast been acquainted with from thy youth, if they may help thee, or strengthen thee. ¹³ Thou hast hitherto had many counsels of them; so let the heaven gazers and the beholders of stars come on now and deliver thee: yea, and let them show when these new things shall come upon thee.

³ He was despised and cast out of men's company; and one that had suffered sorrow, and had experience of infirmity. And we were as one that had hid his face from him. ⁴ He was so despisable, that we esteemed him not. Truly, he took upon him our diseases, and bare our sorrows. And yet we counted him plagued, and beaten, and humbled of God.

¹¹ Because of the labour of his soul, he shall see and be satisfied. With his knowledge, he, being just, shall justify my servants: and that a great number. And he shall bear their iniquities. ¹² Therefore I will give him his part in many, and the spoil of the rich he shall divide: because he gave his soul to death, and was numbered with the trespassers, and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for transgressors.

¹¹ For when wilt thou be abashed or fear, seeing thou hast broken thy promise, and rememberest not me, neither hast me in thine heart? Thinkest thou, that I also will hold my peace as afore time, that thou fearest me not?

⁶ Their web maketh no cloth and they may not cover themselves with their labours. Their deeds are the deeds of wickedness, and the work of robbery is in their hands.

¹⁰ And therefore I am joyful in the LORD, and my soul rejoiceth in my God. For he shall put upon me the garment of salvation, and cover me with the mantle of righteousness. He shall deck me like a bridegroom, and as a bride that hath her apparel upon her.

²⁵ The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat hay like the bullock. But earth shall be the serpent's meat. There shall no man hurt nor slay another, in all my holy hill, sayeth the LORD.

³ For thus sayeth the LORD, to all Judah and Jerusalem, "Plow your land, and sow not among the thorns.

³¹ For, methink I hear a noise, like as it were of a woman travailing, or one laboring of her first child: Even the voice of the daughter Zion, that casteth out her arms, and swooneth, saying, "Ah woe is me! How sore vexed and faint is my heart, for them that are slain?"

²⁴ Then shall this cry be heard, "Our arms are feeble! Heaviness and sorrow is come upon us, as upon a woman travailing with child!

²³ but this I commanded them, saying, 'Hearken and obey my voice, and I shall be your God, and ye shall be my people: so that ye walk in all the ways, which I have commanded you, that ye may prosper.' ²⁴ But they were not obedient. They inclined not their ears thereunto, but went after their own imaginations and after the motions of their own wicked heart: and so turned themselves away, and converted not unto me.

¹³ They shall sow wheat, and reap thorns. They shall take heritage in possession, but it shall do them no good. And ye shall be confounded of your own winnings, because of the great wrath of the LORD."

²¹ To whom will thou make thy moan, when they come upon thee? For thou hast taught them thyself, and made them masters over thee. Shall not sorrow come upon thee, as on a woman travailing with child?

¹³ Then answered I, "O LORD God, the prophets say unto them, 'Tush, ye shall see no sword, and no hunger shall come upon you, but the LORD shall give you continual rest in this place.'" ¹⁴ And the LORD said unto me, "The prophets preach lies unto them in my name. I have not spoken with them, neither gave I them any charge, neither did I send them. Yet they preach unto you false visions, charming vanity, and deceitfulness of their own heart.

²³ thou that dwellest upon Lebanon, and makest thy nest in the Cedar's trees. O how great shall thy mourning be, when thy sorrows come upon thee, as a woman travailing with child?

²⁴ May any man hide himself so, that I shall not see him, sayeth the LORD? Do not I fulfill heaven and earth, sayeth the LORD?

² "Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon, ³ and after two years will I bring again into this place all the ornaments of the LORD's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon carried away from this place unto Babylon.

²² How long wilt thou go astray, O thou shrinking daughter? For the LORD will work a new thing upon earth: A woman shall compass a man.

²⁴ Damascus shall be sore afraid, and shall flee; trembling shall come upon her. Sorrow and pain shall overtake her as a woman travailing of child.

² Then said he that sat therein, to him that had the linen raiment upon him, "Creep in between the wheels that are under the Cherubims, and take thine hand full of hot coals out from between the Cherubims, and cast them over the city. And he crept in, that I might see." ³ Now the Cherubims stood upon the rightside of the house, when the man went in, and the cloud filled the innermore court. ⁴ But the glory of the LORD removed from the Cherubims, and came upon the threshold of the house: so that the temple was full of clouds, and the court was full of the shine of the LORD's glory. ⁵ Yea and the sound of the Cherubims' wings was heard into the fore court, like as it had been the voice of the almighty God when he speaketh. ⁶ Now when he had bidden the man that was clothed in linen, to go and take the hot coals from the midst of the wheels, which were under the Cherubims: he went and stood beside the wheels. ⁷ Then the one Cherub reached forth his hand from under the Cherubims, unto the fire that was between the Cherubims, and took thereof, and gave it unto him that had on the linen raiment, in his hand: which took it, and went out. ⁸ And under the wings of the Cherubims, there appeared the likeness of a man's hand. ⁹ I saw also four wheels beside the Cherubims, so that by every Cherub there stood a wheel. And the wheels were, to look upon, after the fashion of the precious stone of Tharsis, ¹⁰ yet unto the sight were they fashioned and like, as if one wheel had been in another. ¹¹ When they went forth, they went all four together, not turning about in their going. But where the first went, thither went they after also, so that they turned not about in their going. ¹² Their whole bodies, their backs, their hands and wings, yea and the wheels also, were all full of eyes round about them, all four. ¹³ And I heard him call the wheels Gilgal. ¹⁴ Every one of them had four faces: so that the one face was the face of a Cherub, the second of a man, the third of a lion, the fourth of an Eagle, ¹⁵ and they were lifted up above. This is the beast, that I saw at the water of Chebar. ¹⁶ Now when the Cherubims went, the wheels went with them; and when the Cherubims shook their wings to lift themselves upward, the wheels remained not behind, but were with them also. ¹⁷ Shortly, when they stood, these stood also: And when they were lift up, the wheels were lift up also with them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels. ¹⁸ Then the glory of the LORD was lift up from the threshold of the temple, and remained upon the Cherubims. ¹⁹ And the Cherubims flickered with their wings, and lift themselves up from the earth: so that I saw when they went, and the wheels with them. And they stood at the east side of the port that is in the house of the LORD. So the glory of the LORD was upon them. ²⁰ This is the beast that I saw under the God of Israel, by the water of Chebar. And I perceived, that it was the Cherubims. ²¹ Every one had four faces, and every one four wings, and under their wings, as it were men's hands. ²² Now the figure of their faces was even as I had seen them, by the water of Chebar, and so was the countenance of them: Every one in his going went straight forward.

² "Thou son of man, speak prophecy against those prophets that preach in Israel: and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, 'Hear ye the word of the LORD. ³ Thus sayeth the LORD God: Woe be unto those foolish prophets that follow their own spirit, and speak where they see nothing. ⁴ O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes upon the dry field: ⁵ For they stand not in the gaps, neither made they a hedge for the house of Israel, that men might abide the peril in the day of the LORD. ⁶ Vain things they see, and tell lies to maintain their preachings withal. 'The LORD,' say they, 'hath spoken it' - when in very deed the LORD hath not sent them.

²² Seeing that with your lies ye discomfort the heart of the righteous, whom I have not discomforted: Again, forsomuch as ye courage the hand of the wicked, so that he may not turn from his wicked way, and live:

¹⁶ "Thou son of man, behold, I take away the pleasure of thine eyes with a plague: yet shalt thou neither mourn, nor weep, nor water thy cheeks therefore.

²¹ 'Tell the house of Israel, thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, I will suspend my sanctuary: even the glory of your power, that pleasure of your eyes, and the thing that ye love: your sons and daughters whom ye have left, shall fall through the sword.

²⁵ "But behold, O thou son of man: In the day when I take from them their power, their joy and honour, the lust of their eyes, the burden of their bodies - namely, their sons and daughters -

² "Thou son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Because thou hast a proud heart and hast said, 'I am a God, I have my seat in the midst of the sea like a God,' whereas thou art but a man, and not God, and yet standest in thine own conceit, that thou art God:

⁹ as they that be slain. Let see, if thou wilt say then, before them that slay thee, 'I am God' - whereas thou art but a man and not God, in the hands of them that slayeth thee.

³ Speak, and tell him, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, O Pharaoh thou king of Egypt, I will upon thee, thou great dragon that liest in the waters; thou that sayest, 'The water is mine; I have made it myself.'

³⁰ and said, "This is the great city of Babylon, which I myself, with my power and strength, have made a king's court, for the honour of my majesty."

⁷ All the great estates of the realm - as the princes, dukes, senators and judges - are determined to put out a commandment of the king, and to make a sure statute. Namely, that whoso desireth any petition, either of any god or man within this thirty days, except it be only of thee, O king: the same person may be cast into the lions' den.

²⁶ After these sixty two weeks, shall Christ be slain, and they shall have no pleasure in him. Then shall there come a people with the prince, and destroy the city and the Sanctuary: and his end shall come as the water flood. But the desolation shall continue till the end of the battle.

² Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to perpetual shame and reproof.

⁷ But even like as Adam did, so have they broken my covenant, and set me at naught.

² Though they were buried in the hell, my hand shall fetch them from thence. Though they climb up to heaven, yet shall I cast them down. ³ Though they hide themselves upon the top of Carmel, yet shall I seek them out, and bring them from thence. Though they creep down from my sight into the deep of the sea, I shall command the serpent, even there to bite them.

³ Though they hide themselves upon the top of Carmel, yet shall I seek them out, and bring them from thence. Though they creep down from my sight into the deep of the sea, I shall command the serpent, even there to bite them.

³ And Jonah made him ready to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and gat him down to Joppa, and found there a ship ready to go to Tarshish, and paid his fare, and went aboard, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

⁹ And he answered them, "I am a Hebrew: and the LORD God of heaven which made both sea and dry land, I fear." ¹⁰ Then were the men exceedingly afraid and said unto him, "Why didst thou so?" For they knew that he was fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.

⁹ Why then art thou now so heavy? Is there no king in thee? Are thy counselors away that thou art so pained, as a woman in her travail? ¹⁰ And now, O thou daughter Zion, be sorry: let it grieve thee as a wife labouring with child. For now must thou get thee out of the city, and dwell upon the plain field: Yea, unto Babylon shalt thou go, there shalt thou be delivered, and there the LORD shall loose thee from the hand of thine enemies.

³ In the meanwhile he plagueth them for a season, until the time that she which shall bear have born: then shall the remnant of his brethren be converted unto the children of Israel.

¹⁷ They shall lick the dust like a serpent, as the worms of the earth, that tremble in their holes. They shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and they shall fear thee.

²¹ She shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus: For he shall save his people from their sins."

²³ "Behold, a maiden shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with us."

²⁵ and knew her not till she had brought forth her first son: and called his name Jesus.

⁷ When he saw many of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, "O generation of vipers, who hath taught you to flee from the vengeance to come?

¹ Then was Jesus led away of the spirit into wilderness to be tempted of the devil. ² And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward a hungered. ³ Then came to him the tempter, and said, "If thou be the son of God, command that these stones be made bread."

³ Then came to him the tempter, and said, "If thou be the son of God, command that these stones be made bread." ⁴ He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.'" ⁵ Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, ⁶ and said unto him, "If thou be the son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, 'He shall give his angels charge over thee: and with their hands they shall hold thee up, that thou dash not thy foot against a stone.'"

⁶ and said unto him, "If thou be the son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, 'He shall give his angels charge over thee: and with their hands they shall hold thee up, that thou dash not thy foot against a stone.'" ⁷ And Jesus said to him, "It is written also, 'Thou shalt not tempt thy Lord God.'" ⁸ The devil took him up again and led him into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and all the glory of them; ⁹ and said to him, "All these will I give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me."

⁹ and said to him, "All these will I give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me." ¹⁰ Then said Jesus unto him, "Depart, Satan: For it is written, 'Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve.'"

²⁸ But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a wife lusting after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

²³ But and if thine eye be wicked, then all thy body shall be full of darkness. Wherefore if the light that is in thee, be darkness: how great is that darkness?

¹⁶ "Behold, I send you forth as sheep among wolves: Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doves.

³⁴ O generation of vipers, how can ye say well, when ye yourselves are evil? For of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.

⁷ Some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprung up and choked it.

³⁸ and the field is the world. And the children of the kingdom, they are the good seed. And the tares are the children of the wicked.

¹² and said unto him, 'Friend, how fortuned it that thou camest in hither, and hast not on a wedding garment?' And he was even speechless.

³³ ye serpents and generation of vipers, how should ye escape the damnation of hell?

²⁶ His master answered, and said unto him, 'Thou evil servant and slothful, thou knowest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I strawed not: ²⁷ Thou oughtest therefore to have had my money to the changers, and then at my coming should I have received my mine own with vantage.

⁴⁵ Then shall he answer them, and say, 'Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.'

¹⁸ and shall kill serpents. And if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay their hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

³¹ Lo: thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. ³² He shall be great, and shall be called the son of the highest. And the Lord God shall give unto him the seat of his father David: ³³ And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom shall be none end." ³⁴ Then said Mary unto the angel, "How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?" ³⁵ And the angel answered, and said unto her, "The holy ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee. Therefore also that holy thing which shall be born, shall be called the son of God.

⁷⁶ And thou child, shalt be called the prophet of the highest, for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his ways:

¹⁹ Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents, and scorpions, and over all manner power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

²⁹ He, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, "Who is then my neighbor?"

²³ And being in hell, in torments, he lift up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom;

²² And he said unto him, 'Of thine own mouth judge I thee, thou evil servant. Knowest thou that I am a strait man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow?

³⁹ And he came out: and went, as he was wont, to Mount Olivet. And the disciples followed him. ⁴⁰ And when he came to the place, he said to them, "Pray, lest ye fall into temptation." ⁴¹ And he gat himself from them, about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, ⁴² saying, "Father if thou wilt, withdraw this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will; But thine be fulfilled." ⁴³ And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, comforting him. ⁴⁴ And he was in agony, and prayed somewhat longer: And his sweat was like drops of blood, trickling down to the ground.

⁵³ When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth hands against me. But this is even your very hour, and the power of darkness."

⁴⁸ "I am that bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness: and are dead. ⁵⁰ This, is that bread which cometh from heaven: that he which of it eateth, should also not die. ⁵¹ I am that living bread, which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." ⁵² And the Jews strove among themselves, saying, "How can this fellow give us his flesh to eat?" ⁵³ Then Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the son of man, and drink his blood, ye shall not have life in you. ⁵⁴ Whosoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, the same hath eternal life: And I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me: and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living father hath sent me, even so live I by my father: and he that eateth me, shall live by me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which came from heaven: not as your fathers have eaten manna and are dead. He that eateth of this bread, shall live ever."

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father, ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning; And abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, then speaketh he of his own. For he is a liar, and the father thereof.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out a doors. ³² And I, if I were lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." ³³ This said Jesus signifying what death he should die.

⁶ Jesus said unto him, "I am the way, the truth and the life. And no man cometh unto the father, but by me.

³⁰ Hereafter will I not talk many words unto you. For the chief ruler of this world cometh, and hath nought in me. ³¹ But that the world may know that I love the father; Therefore as the father gave me commandment, even so do I. Rise, let us go hence."

²¹ A woman when she travaileth hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

³³ These words have I spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. For in the world shall ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

³⁵ Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and high priests have delivered thee unto me. What hast thou done?"

²² And the people gave a shout, saying, "It is the voice of a god and not of a man." ²³ And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the honour, and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

¹⁰ "O full of all subtlety and deceitfulness, and child of the devil, and the enemy of all righteousness: thou ceasest not to pervert the straight ways of the Lord.

²⁶ and hath made of one blood all nations of men, for to dwell on all the face of the earth; and hath assigned before: how long time, and also the ends of their inhabitation.

¹⁸ to open their eyes that they might turn from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith in me.'

³ And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, And put them into the fire, there came a viper out of the heat and leapt on his hand. ⁴ When the men of the country saw the worm hang on his hand, they said among themselves, "This man must needs be a murderer: Whom, though he have escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live." ⁵ But he shook off the vermin into the fire, and felt no harm. ⁶ Howbeit, they waited when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly. But after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

¹⁵ which show the deed of the law written in their hearts: While their conscience beareth witness unto them, and also their thoughts, accusing one another, or excusing,

¹³ "Their throat is an open sepulchre, with their tongues they have deceived." "The poison of Asps is under their lips."

¹⁹ Yea and we know that whatsoever the law saith, he saith it to them which are under the law: That all mouths may be stopped, and all the world be subdued to God, ²⁰ because that by the deeds of the law, shall no flesh be justified in the sight of God. For by the law cometh the knowledge of sin.

²² The righteousness, no doubt, which is good before God cometh by the faith of Jesus Christ: unto all, and upon all them that believe.

¹² Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by the means of sin; And so death went over all men, insomuch that all men sinned.

¹² Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by the means of sin; And so death went over all men, insomuch that all men sinned. ¹³ For even unto the time of the law was sin in the world: but sin was not regarded, as long as there was no law:

¹³ For even unto the time of the law was sin in the world: but sin was not regarded, as long as there was no law: ¹⁴ Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them also that sinned not, with like transgression as did Adam: which is the similitude of him that is to come.

¹⁴ Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them also that sinned not, with like transgression as did Adam: which is the similitude of him that is to come. ¹⁵ But the gift is not like as the sin. For if, through the sin of one, many be dead: much more plenteous, upon many, was the grace of God and gift by grace: which grace was given by one man, Jesus Christ.

¹⁵ But the gift is not like as the sin. For if, through the sin of one, many be dead: much more plenteous, upon many, was the grace of God and gift by grace: which grace was given by one man, Jesus Christ. ¹⁶ And the gift is not over one sin, as death came through one sin of one that sinned. For damnation came of one sin unto condemnation: But the gift came to justify from many sins.

¹⁶ And the gift is not over one sin, as death came through one sin of one that sinned. For damnation came of one sin unto condemnation: But the gift came to justify from many sins. ¹⁷ For if by the sin of one, death reigned by the means of one, much more shall they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life by the means of one; that is to say, Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ For if by the sin of one, death reigned by the means of one, much more shall they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life by the means of one; that is to say, Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ Likewise, then, as by the sin of one, condemnation came on all men: even so, by the justifying of one cometh the righteousness that bringeth life, upon all men.

¹⁸ Likewise, then, as by the sin of one, condemnation came on all men: even so, by the justifying of one cometh the righteousness that bringeth life, upon all men. ¹⁹ For as by one man's disobedience many became sinners: so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

¹⁹ For as by one man's disobedience many became sinners: so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. ²⁰ But the law, in the meantime, entered in that sin should increase. Neverthelater, where abundance of sin was, there was more plenteousness of grace. ²¹ That as sin had reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life, by the help of Jesus Christ.

²⁰ because the creatures are subdued to vanity against their will: but for his will which subdueth them in hope. ²¹ For the very creatures shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. ²² For we know that every creature groaneth with us also, and travaileth in pain even unto this time.

³ For they are ignorant of the righteousness which is allowed before God, and go about to establish their own righteousness: and therefore, are not obedient unto the righteousness which is of value before God.

² One believeth that he may eat all things. Another, which is weak, eateth herbs.

²⁰ The God of peace tread Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

¹ As concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man, not to touch a woman.

⁴ The wife hath not power over her own body: but the husband; And likewise the man hath not power over his own body: but the wife.

³ I would ye knew that Christ is the head of every man; and the man is the woman's head; and God is Christ's head.

³⁴ Let your wives keep silence in the congregations. For it is not permitted unto them to speak: but let them be under obedience, as saith the law.

²¹ For by a man came death, and by a man came resurrection of the dead. ²² For as by Adam all die; even so by Christ, shall all be made alive,

¹¹ lest Satan should prevent us. For his thoughts are not unknown unto us.

⁴ in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest should shine unto them the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, which is the image of God.

² And herefore sigh we, desiring to be clothed with our mansion which is from heaven: ³ so yet if it happen that we be found clothed, and not naked.

²¹ for he hath made him to be sin for us, which knew no sin, that we by his means should be that righteousness which before God is allowed.

¹⁷ Wherefore, "Come out from among them, and separate yourselves," saith the Lord, "and touch none unclean thing: so will I receive you,

³ But I fear, lest as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, even so your wits should be corrupt from the singleness that is in Christ.

¹³ For these false apostles are deceitful workers, and fashion themselves like unto the apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no marvel, for Satan himself is changed into the fashion of an angel of light.

¹⁴ And no marvel, for Satan himself is changed into the fashion of an angel of light. ¹⁵ Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers fashion themselves as though they were the ministers of righteousness: whose end shall be according to their deeds.

⁴ But when the time was full come, God sent his son — born of a woman, and made bond unto the law -

⁸ Wherefore he saith, "He is gone up on high, and hath led captivity captive, and hath given gifts unto men."

²⁸ Let him that stole, steal no more; but let him rather labour with his hands some good thing, that he may have to give unto him that needeth.

²² Women: submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. ²³ For the husband is the wife's head, even as Christ is the head of the congregation, and the same is the saviour of the body. ²⁴ Therefore as the congregation is in subjection to Christ, likewise let the wives be in subjection to their husbands in all things.

¹⁵ and hath spoiled rule and power, and hath made a show of them openly, and hath triumphed over them in his own person.

²¹ "Touch not; Taste not; Handle not:"

¹⁸ Wives, submit your own selves unto your own husbands, as it is comely in the Lord.

⁹ Ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail. For we laboured day and night, because we would not be grievous unto any of you, and preached unto you the gospel of God.

³ For when they shall say, "Peace, no danger," then cometh on them sudden destruction, as the travailing of a woman with child, and they shall not escape.

⁴ which is an adversary, and is exalted above all that is called God, or that is worshipped: so that he shall sit as God in the temple of God, and show himself as God.

¹⁰ For when we were with you, this we warned you of, that if there were any which would not work, that the same should not eat.

¹¹ Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. ¹² I suffer not a woman to teach, neither to have authority over the man: but for to be in silence.

¹⁴ Also Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived, and was in transgression. ¹⁵ Notwithstanding, through bearing of children they shall be saved, so they continue in faith, love, and holiness with discretion.

⁵ to be of discreet, chaste, housewifely, good, and obedient unto their own husbands, that the word of God be not evil spoken of.

⁷ And of the angels he saith, "He maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers flames of fire."

¹⁴ Forasmuch, then, as the children were partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, for to put down through death him that had lordship over death: that is to say, the devil. ¹⁵ And that he might deliver them which, through fear of death, all their life time were in danger of bondage.

¹⁸ For in that he himself suffered, and was tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

¹³ Neither is there any creature invisible in the sight of it. For all things are naked and bare unto the eyes of him, of whom we speak.

⁷ Which in the days of his flesh, did offer up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death: and was also heard, because of his godliness.

⁸ but that ground, which beareth thorns and briars, is reproved, and is nigh unto cursing: whose end is to be burned.

¹⁸ And where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for sin. ¹⁹ Seeing, brethren, that by the means of the blood of Jesus, we may be bold to enter into that holy place, ²⁰ by the new and living way, which he hath prepared for us, through the veil, that is to say by his flesh. ²¹ And seeing also that we have a high priest which is ruler over the house of God, ²² let us draw nigh with a true heart in a full faith sprinkled in our hearts, from an evil conscience, and washed in our bodies with pure water,

¹³ Let no man say when he is tempted that he is tempted of God: for God tempteth not unto evil, neither tempteth he any man. ¹⁴ But every man is tempted, drawn away, and enticed of his own concupiscence. ¹⁵ Then when lust hath conceived, she bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death.

¹ Likewise, let the wives be in subjection to their husbands, that even they which believe not the word, may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives: ² while they behold your pure conversation coupled with fear. ³ Whose apparel shall not be outward with broided hair, and hanging on of gold, other in putting on of gorgeous apparel: ⁴ but let the hid man of the heart be uncorrupt, with a meek and a quiet spirit, which spirit is, before God, a thing much set by. ⁵ For after this manner in the old time did the holy women which trusted in God tire themselves, and were obedient to their husbands, ⁶ even as Sara obeyed Abraham and called him "Lord" — whose daughters ye are as long as ye do well, not being afraid of every shadow. ⁷ Likewise, ye men, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as unto them that are heirs also of the grace of life, that your prayers be not let.

¹⁶ For all that is in the world — as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of goods — are not of the father: but of the world.

⁸ He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth since the beginning. But for this cause appeared the son of God, even to destroy the works of the devil.

¹⁰ And hereby are the sons of God known, and also the sons of the devil. All that work not righteousness, are not of God, nor he that loveth not his brother.

²⁰ But if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and knoweth all things.

⁵ Who is it that overcometh the world: but he which believeth that Jesus is the son of God?

⁷ Let him that hath ears hear, what the spirit saith unto the congregations. To him that overcometh, will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.'

¹⁰ Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil shall cast of you into prison, to tempt you, and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

¹⁷ because thou sayest thou art rich and increased with goods, and hast need of nothing, and knowest not how thou art wretched and miserable, poor, blind, and naked. ¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich: and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, that thy filthy nakedness do not appear: and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.

⁷ And there was great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon and the dragon fought and his angels, ⁸ and prevailed not: neither was their place found any more in heaven. ⁹ And the great dragon, that old serpent called the devil and Satan; Was cast out. Which deceiveth all the world. And he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out also.

⁹ And the great dragon, that old serpent called the devil and Satan; Was cast out. Which deceiveth all the world. And he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out also. ¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying, "In heaven is now made salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: For he is cast down which accused them before God day and night: ¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death. ¹² Therefore rejoice heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth, and of the sea: for the devil is come down unto you, which hath great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time." ¹³ And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

¹⁷ And the dragon was wroth with the woman: and went and made war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

⁴ and they worshipped the dragon, which gave power unto the beast, and they worshipped the beast, saying, "Who is like unto the beast? who is able to war with him?"

⁷ And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. And power was given him over all kindred, tongue, and nation:

¹⁴ And deceived them that dwelt on the earth, by the means of those signs which he had power to do in the sight of the beast, saying to them that dwelt on the earth: that they should make an image unto the beast, which had the wound of a sword, and did live.

¹ And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is fulfilled the wrath of God. ² And I saw as it were a glassy sea, mingled with fire, and them that had gotten victory of the beast, and of his image, and of his mark, and of the number of his name, stand on the glassy sea, having the harps of God ³ and they sang the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the lamb, saying, ⁴ Who shall not fear, o Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy, and all gentiles shall come and worship before thee, for thy judgments are made manifest." ⁵ And after that I looked, and behold the temple of the tabernacle of testimony was open in heaven, ⁶ and the seven angels came out of the temple, which had the seven plagues, clothed in pure and bright linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

¹⁵ "Behold I come as a thief. Happy is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments; Lest he be found naked, and men see his filthiness."

¹ And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand. ² And he took the dragon, that old serpent which is the devil and Satan, and he bound him a thousand years:

² And he took the dragon, that old serpent which is the devil and Satan, and he bound him a thousand years: ³ and cast him into the bottomless pit, and he bound him, and set a seal on him, that he should deceive the people no more, till the thousand years were fulfilled. And after that he must be loosed for a little season.

⁷ And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, ⁸ and shall go out to deceive the people which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle; whose number is as the sand of the sea.

¹⁰ and the devil that deceived them, was cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were and shall be tormented day and night for ever more.

¹² And I saw the dead, both great and small, stand before God: And the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged of those things which were written in the books according to their deeds. ¹³ And the sea gave up her dead, which were in her, and death and hell delivered up the dead, which were in them: and they were judged every man according to his deeds.

² In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river was there wood of life; which bare twelve manner of fruits, and gave fruit every month: and the leaves of the wood served to heal the people withal.

¹⁴ Blessed are they that do his commandments, that their power may be in the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
